Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Mix
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Butter Parmesan Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the shrimp perfectly.
- Prepare Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with the minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasonings.
- Melt Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and stir in half of the grated Parmesan cheese until combined. This flavorful butter mixture will enhance the shrimp.
- Combine and Arrange: Pour the melted butter and Parmesan mixture over the seasoned shrimp and toss everything together thoroughly. Then spread the shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
- Roast Shrimp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the shrimp for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Serve the roasted shrimp over pasta or rice for a complete meal.
- Pair with a fresh side salad to add some greens and balance to the dish.
- Offering crusty bread on the side makes for a delightful accompaniment to soak up the garlicky butter sauce.
